Noosa will play host to a colourful array of over 100 local and interstate thought leaders, artists and performers when the Women Initiating New Directions Organisation (WINDO) International Women’s Week Festival returns March 3-9.
The program will include a new leadership conference at The J Theatre on Wednesday 6 March to discuss vital issues affecting women and girls including business leadership, education, mental health, arts and culture.
On International Women’s Day, Friday 8 March, a major community variety show, Steppin’ Out, will celebrate women’s talents and stories featuring acclaimed cabaret singer Catherine Alcorn and Survivor contestant Tara Pitt discussing resilience.
There will also be free art exhibitions featuring local artists throughout March at The J, Noosa and The Butter Factory Arts Centre, Cooroy.
“For women and girls to be truly equal in our society, their rights, perspectives and contributions need to be equally seen, heard and valued. That’s why this festival is a vital addition to our region’s calendar and the future development of our cultural identity”, WINDO president and founder Jeanette Dal Santo said.
